When purchasing a deadbolt, make sure you get one that has key access on the outside and a thumb latch on the inside. You want to avoid deadbolts with key access on the inside because it could prevent your family from making a quick escape in case of emergency if you need to find a key to open the door.

Making sure your doors are properly secured will give you peace of mind at home.
